[2019 Update] I moved late last summer from Seattle to Chicago, and ready to host CSers. I work in tech, but I'm passionante about art and creating experiences.I've been chasing conceptual art projects and meeting friends around the world to check out exhbits. Film festivals, food treks, and archetectural explorations also fill my time in new places. I like meeting queer travelers, and exploring gay life abroad (or here).

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
It can take a lot of energy (and money) to pick up and go somewhere new. I like that couchsurfing focuses on the respite of a couch to make the journey much less painful, creating synchornious connections with similarly minded wildlings. I want to add to our global community, and show passersby a glimpse into life in the Windy City.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Sailed from Hong Kong to Amsterdam.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share conversations about art, tips about traveling in Morocco or Europe, and how to make a salsa using a rock. I'd like to learn new dishes, non-western philiosphy, how to make breads, and new conversations about art.
